“Aquilo que chamamos de ‘problemas’ ou ‘provações’ na realidade são
presentes do Universo para que possamos aprender alguma coisa. Neste
plano da existência não há outra maneira de se desenvolver se não
através de erros e acertos. Através deles vamos tomando consciência
daquilo que fecha e daquilo que abre os caminhos para a nossa
realização. Seguimos aprendendo até que possamos escolher somente
pensamentos, palavras e ações que nos libertam.”

cierra y de aquello que abre los caminos para nuestra realización.

palabras y acciones que nos liberan.”
“What we consider to be problems or challenges are in truth gifts from the universe aimed at teaching us specific lessons. In this realm of existence, there is no other way for us to progress other than through trial and error. Through these challenges, we become aware of what closes or opens up the path towards our own self-realization. We continue to learn until we are able to choose only the thoughts, words and actions that liberate us.”
